    www.microscopenet.com i. Caution 1. Open the carton carefully with a knife or paper cutter. Find the “UP” sign and place the Styrofoam container on the side that makes the arrow upward. If the “UP” sign is missing, please open the Styrofoam container gently to prevent any accessory, i.e. objectives or eyepieces, from dropping and being damaged.

    www.microscopenet.com 3 Operation 3.1 Adjusting illumination 1) Plug the power cord into the power socket on the microscope and connect it to the power outlet. 2) Turn on the power switch. 3) Rotate the brightness intensity dial to increase or decrease the brightness. Caution: A diffusion filter is attached beneath the condenser to get uniform light and protect your eyes from strong light when a low power objective applied.
  • Page 10 www.microscopenet.com Tips: To prevent your specimen slide from making contact with an objective, raise the stage to its highest position without contacting the 100X objective, then tighten the focus stop lever (Fig. 7). Give the stage a tiny extra moving space to ensure the objective can be focused every time.

  • Page 20 www.microscopenet.com Condenser Lock Thumb Screw Condenser Holder Fig.20 Note:  There are 2 phase contrast objectives: 10X and 40X, and there are 2 condenser annular rings on the sliding selector: 10/20 and 40. The corresponding objective, annular ring and iris diagram must work together, i.e., 40X phase contrast objective must work with 40 condenser annular ring and iris diagram 40 and so 2) Centering the condenser ring plate a.
  • Page 21 www.microscopenet.com b. Turn iris diagram to 100. c. Perform the darkfield observation the same way as a normal brightfield microscope. Note:  The darkfield condenser works with the 4X, 10X, 40X regular brightfield objectives.  The darkfield condenser does not work with the regular 100X oil immersion objective.
  • Page 22 www.microscopenet.com Note: There are 3 phase contrast objectives: 10X, 40X and 100X, and there are 3 condenser ring plates: 10X, 40X and 100X. The corresponding objective and ring plate must work together, i.e. 10X phase contrast objective must work with 10X condenser ring plate, and so on.
